Case of Stealing State Secrets in China's Rare Earth Field

In recent years, key minerals have become a new field in the strategic game of major global powers. As one of the key mineral resources, rare earth is closely related to national security while contributing to high-quality economic development. Recently, the national security authorities cracked a case of an overseas nonferrous metal company illegally collecting and stealing state secrets in China's rare earth field, and took compulsory measures against the persons involved in the case according to law.

Cheng used to be the deputy general manager of a rare earth company in China, and he can access the internal information of China's rare earth industry in his work. In daily business contacts, Cheng met Ye, an employee of a non-ferrous metal company in Shanghai. After a bidding meeting for rare earth storage in China ended, Ye tentatively asked Chengmou about winning the bid, but Chengmou did not refuse.

Since then, under the command of the foreign employees of the overseas company he worked for, Mr. Ye has repeatedly privately asked Mr. Cheng for the details of China's rare earth collection and storage, mandatory plans and other information by offering monetary rewards as bait. As a confidential person in the rare earth industry, Mr. Cheng, knowing that the relevant information involves state secrets and is prohibited from providing it to others, still provided Mr. Ye with the information about the categories, quantities, prices and other information of China's rare earths collected and stored in his work, and repeatedly received huge rewards from the other party.

According to the identification of the national security department, the content provided by Cheng to overseas involves 7 confidential state secrets. In November 2023, the Intermediate People's Court of Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province sentenced Ye to 11 years' imprisonment, 2 years' deprivation of political rights and 500000 yuan of personal property confiscation for the crime of "buying and illegally providing state secrets for overseas"; He was sentenced to 11 years and 6 months in prison, deprived of political rights for 2 years, confiscated personal property of 900000 yuan, and fined 100000 yuan for "the crime of illegally providing state secrets abroad and taking bribes".

In recent years, the national security organs have practiced the overall national security concept, took safeguarding national security in the field of key mineral resources as an important task, resolutely performed their duties, strictly prevented and cracked down on all kinds of information theft activities against China's key mineral resources according to law, and effectively maintained China's resource security.

National security organs cut off and steal

Overseas "Black Hands" of China's Rice Seed and Seed Production Technology

Food security is an important part of national security, which is related to the national economy and the people's livelihood. In recent years, foreign spy and intelligence agencies have continued to increase their penetration into China's grain field and steal China's core scientific research information, which has caused significant harm to the core competitiveness of China's rice seed industry and food security. In response to this outstanding situation, the national security organs took the initiative to crack a series of spy and secret stealing cases from 2022 to 2023, investigate and review nearly 100 persons involved in the case according to law, investigate and deal with 11 key enterprises involved in the case, and investigate the criminal responsibility of relevant personnel according to law.

In a case of foreign spy intelligence agencies stealing China's rice seeds and seed production technology, the national security authorities found that Zhu, who was formerly the general manager of a domestic agricultural science and technology company, had established a so-called "cooperation" relationship with foreign spy intelligence agencies in order to gain personal economic benefits, and had "no refusal" to the requirements of foreign spy intelligence agencies to "cooperate in seed production" In the name of, he successively sold 5 parent rice seeds to the other party in violation of regulations, and obtained returns beyond the normal price. In order to further expand the so-called "business", Zhu established a new agricultural science and technology company, through which he continued to sell a large number of high-quality parental rice seeds to overseas.

According to the identification of the relevant national security department, the seeds illegally provided by Zhu Moumou to foreign countries are intelligence. According to the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China, the national security organs have taken criminal coercive measures against Zhu according to law.

In January 2024, the Intermediate People's Court of Hefei City, Anhui Province sentenced Zhu Moumou to one year and six months in prison for the crime of illegally providing information abroad. In addition, the national security organs also imposed administrative penalties on the remaining 17 involved objects in accordance with the law, and investigated the enterprises involved in the case thoroughly to further find out that some domestic seed enterprises have been pursuing profits without law for a long time, and continue to illegally sell a large number of high-quality varieties of our country to foreign countries, effectively eliminating major security risks in the food field of our country.

In recent years, the national security organs have cracked down on all kinds of spy and secret stealing activities in the field of food security according to law, cut off the "black hands" of stealing secrets that extend abroad to China's germplasm resources, and effectively prevented and stopped the hidden dangers of losing and leaking secrets in the field of food security.

Inadvertently joining overseas anti China political parties

In recent years, overseas anti China hostile forces have used the Internet and other channels to carry out ideological "psychological warfare" against domestic people, distort and hype domestic hot events, attack and slander China's political system. A small number of young students who have not yet gone deep into the world have been incited to fall into a trap, and have been coerced into hostile activities, becoming "pawns" of overseas anti China forces. A few days ago, the national security organs successfully solved a typical case of an overseas anti China party soliciting students from a university to participate in activities, effectively combating the infiltration and counter insurgency activities of overseas anti China forces, and timely eliminating potential risks.

Song is a student of a university. Once, when browsing a foreign website, the webpage pushed him an advertising link to lead him to the official website of an anti China party. Out of curiosity and curiosity, and in order to be able to browse the news of the website for free, Song applied to join the political party according to the tips of the website, and filled in personal information such as name, phone number and email.

After registration, Song received emails from the anti China party one after another, mostly introducing the political platform of the party and the recent anti China activities, and invited Song to help the party to canvass and raise funds as a volunteer. In addition to joining the anti China party, Song also paid attention to a number of overseas anti China accounts, browsing, forwarding and commenting on relevant anti China content.

On the basis of in-depth investigation of fixed evidence, the national security organ conducted an administrative inquiry on Song according to law, and according to the relevant provisions of the Anti Spy Law of the People's Republic of China, gave Song an administrative punishment decision of warning, and issued a decision letter of administrative punishment. After educational transformation, Song expressed regret for his behavior, stopped paying attention to overseas anti China websites, deleted relevant negative comments, and promised not to engage in similar activities in the future.

Deliberately obstructing police officers from carrying out their tasks according to law

Chinese employees of overseas institutions in China are administratively detained

Consciously safeguarding national security is a legal obligation of every citizen. Those who do not accept or cooperate with the investigation and deliberately obstruct the national security organs from carrying out their tasks according to law will be dealt with according to law. Recently, the police of the national security organ imposed administrative punishment on Fumou, a Chinese employee of a foreign institution, who deliberately obstructed the national security organ from carrying out its tasks according to law.

Fu is a Chinese employee of an overseas agency in China. Recently, the national security authorities learned about the clues of the situation suspected of endangering national security and needed to investigate and inquire about it, but Fu refused to go to the designated place to cooperate with the investigation and conversation.

According to the law enforcement process, the police of the national security organ informed Mr. Fu of the relevant laws and regulations on cooperation with the national security work and the legal responsibility for not cooperating with the work, but Mr. Fu refused to cooperate with the investigation all the time, and took the opportunity to send the so-called "taken away by the police" message to the working group of the overseas institutions in China where he worked. After using various methods to evade without success, Fumou simply refused to cooperate in law enforcement by means of silent confrontation.

According to the relevant provisions of the Anti espionage Law of the People's Republic of China, the national security organ, through the law enforcement recorder, fixed the evidence of a policeman deliberately obstructing him from performing his duties according to law, and gave him a punishment of 15 days of administrative detention according to law.

Chinese citizens, whenever and wherever they are, should bear in mind that "everyone is responsible for national security", abide by national security laws and regulations, support and assist national security organs in their work according to law, and consciously safeguard national security. If any suspicious situation endangering national security is found, you should immediately call 12339 the national security organ reporting acceptance telephone, or log in to the national security organ reporting acceptance platform to report.
